Gospel reflection: The importance of serving others

Share and subscribe

Roisin Beirne, in our Legacy and Remembrance team, reflects on this week’s gospel (Mark 10:35-45). She considers the legacy that our loved ones who have died have left in our lives and their impact on the world.

In this gospel reading we are reminded of the importance of serving others. It may be in a small act of kindness or a larger act of generosity, but by being kind to our brothers and sisters we can create a fairer and more just world.

As we approach All Souls’ day, we remember all those special people who have died. By their lives they have taught us how to be kind and humble, making a lasting difference through their acts of service and being generous to all.

We remember them at this time for their love, their kindness and the impact they have had on this world.

May we be inspired by their compassion and learn to serve others as they did.
